The SEQP is a great opportunity for hams to contribute data to studies of Earth’s ionosphere, the part of our atmosphere that makes radio communications possible, and all you have to do is get on the air and operate as you normally would.

On March 22, 2024, ARRL News reported on a change to FCC policy which will nudge Amateur Radio licensing a bit further into the 21st century: beginning March 29, 2024, multifactor (AKA two factor) authentication will be required to login to the Commission Registration System (CORES).
CORES is the FCC system used to pay any application or regulatory fees, manage or reset a password on an existing FRN, or request a new FRN.
